Huracán: Mi Historia De Resiliencia (I, Witness #0)
by Salvador Gómez-ColónIn this Spanish-language edition of Hurricane, a young activist shares how he combated a public health emergency after Hurricane Maria. In 2017, less than three weeks after Salvador Gómez-Colón’s fifteenth birthday, Puerto Rico was struck by a historic Category 4 hurricane. Residents were completely caught in the dark; news about Hurricane Maria broke only two days before it made landfall. Salvador and his family fared better than most, but many in his community were left with destroyed homes and little access to basic resources. Unable to ignore this suffering, Salvador put his good fortune to good use, starting a fund-raising campaign that would bring solar-powered lamps and hand-powered washing machines to thousands of families in need. This Spanish-language edition of Salvador’s propulsive first-person narrative brings a compelling story of determination, compassion, and hope to a wider audience. “A harrowing tale of survival and an inspiring tale of altruism.”— School Library Journal, starred review “Compellingly written with an emphasis on compassion.”—Booklist, starred review

Hurricane Pinto: The Story of an Outlaw Horse
by Thomas C. HinkleThat pinto colt was spirited and strong, as well as strikingly beautiful. So it was not surprising that the cowboys of the Gunnison Ranch spotted him out on the mesa near Big Thunder Mountain where he was roaming with his mother, a half-wild range mare. All that fall and winter they tried to capture Hurricane Pinto, but he was slippery as an eel and too smart for them. It took five cowboys, tophands at the ranch, to catch him. And then he threw four of them, including Ben Williams, the greatest rider of them all-and raced after Ben with his teeth bared. Ben went over the top of the corral like a squirrel. Everyone decided Pinto was a born outlaw, except sixteen-year old Joe Gunnison. He insisted on taking the young horse, so it was really a relief to Joe’s father when two tough-looking hombres stole the pinto. But Joe wasn’t going to lose his horse. He went after him, and that was the beginning of a series of adventures and a thrilling escape through the horrors of Death Valley and past the Funeral Mountains. In the end, Hurricane Pinto saved the life not only of Joe but of Joe’s father. No one ever called him an outlaw again.
